The Fat is the best photograph. The Ibis is great, but I hate the cramped headtube.

The Yeti might have looked OK with a decent photograph, but it looks like it is being prepared for major surgery, or has just passed on. Anaemic.

Love the Otis, but the one that tickled me most is the Mountain Goat.

We could all be accused of waving our wallets at our projects... its just some people have larger wallets to wave, others are prepared to make bigger sacrifices and some just have to work harder to get what they want, given most of us don't know each others circumstances who are we to judge/knock anyone.

jealous perhaps that the Pro's Closet has an amazing array of top class bikes? I am ,
